We believe the stated interest rates on the related party notes payable represent reasonable market rates based on the note payable arrangements we have executed with third parties.
In March 2012, the Company entered into an Irrevocable License & Royalty Agreement with PWS that grants PWS an irrevocable world-wide license to the IP in exchange for a 5% royalty on all revenues from PWS and its affiliates. The term shall commence as of the date of this Agreement and shall continue for a period not to exceed the life of the patent or patents filed by the Company. PWS may sub license the IP and any revenue derived from sub licensing shall be included in the calculation of Gross Revenue for purposes of determining royalty payments due the Company. Royalty payments are due 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. PWS generated licensing revenues of approximately $101,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $161,500 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as such, royalties of approximately $30,300 and $25,300 were due at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
In October 2014, PWS and Medical Waste Services, LLC (“MWS”) formed a contractual joint venture to exploit the PWS medical waste destruction technology.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, PWS has recorded $27,900 and $19,800 in income which represents their 50% interest in the net income of the joint venture, respectively.

PWS did not incur any costs incurred on behalf of the joint venture for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. |
